I ttok a walk around 'China Town' on Friday. While there I bought the two fans and a dozen of the little paper umbrellas. I got the anemones at the florist today. Set up and shot on a piece of Thai black inked paper....the front side this time. So if you thought the back was distracting, you're in full a real treat. None of the Friday shots really worked so....enjoy. Happy New Year!

I would have enjoyed this much more without the small umbrellas because I feel their bright colors detract from the lovely greens. Still a beautiful image.
